Proxy Solicitation & Information Statement • Apr 7, 2020

• 1 Only holders of ordinary shares, or their duly appointed representatives, are entitled to attend and vote at the meeting. A member so entitled may appoint (a) proxy(ies), who need not be (a) member(s), to exercise all or any of his/her rights to attend and to speak and vote on his/her behalf.
• 2 You can appoint the Chairman of the meeting or anyone else to be your proxy at the AGM. You can also, if you wish, appoint more than one proxy provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by you.
• To appoint more than one proxy, you should photocopy the Form of Proxy. Please indicate, in the box below the proxy holder's name, the number of shares in relation to which you authorise them to act as your proxy. Please also indicate by marking the box on the Form of Proxy if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. All Forms of Proxy must be signed and should be returned to the Company's registrar, Equiniti, by 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, 5 May 2020.
• To appoint the Chairman as your sole proxy in respect of all of your shares, fill in any voting instructions and sign and date the Form of Proxy, but leave all other proxy appointment details blank.
• To appoint a single proxy in respect of all your shares other than the Chairman, cross out only the words 'the Chairman of the meeting' and insert the name and address of your proxy (who need not be a member of the Company).

Then complete the rest of the Form of Proxy, but leave all other proxy appointment details blank.

• 3 The Form of Proxy gives your proxy or proxies full rights to attend, speak and vote. If you wish to restrict the rights of your proxies, please cross out either or both of the words 'speak' or 'vote' as you feel appropriate where indicated by an asterisk.
• 4 If the Form of Proxy is signed by someone else on your behalf, their authority to sign must be returned with the Form of Proxy. In the case of a joint holding, any holder may sign. If the shareholder is a corporation, the form must be executed under its common seal or signed by an officer, attorney or other person duly authorised by the corporation.
• 5 To be entitled to vote at the meeting (and for the purpose of determining the number of votes you may cast) you must be entered on the Company's register of members at 6.30 p.m. on 5 May 2020 or, if the meeting is adjourned, you must be entered on the register at 6.30 p.m. two days prior to the date of any adjourned meeting.
• 6 Full details of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM, with explanatory notes, are set out in the enclosed Notice of AGM.
• 7 Please indicate with an 'X' in the boxes provided how you wish your vote to be cast. Unless otherwise instructed, the person appointed as proxy will exercise his/her discretion as to how he/she votes or whether he/ she abstains from voting on any particular resolution and on any other business (including amendments to resolutions and any procedural business), which may come before the meeting.
• 8 If you appoint multiple proxies and wish to give them separate instructions to vote or abstain from voting, please indicate how you wish each proxy to vote or abstain from voting by writing in each appropriate box the name of the proxy and the number of shares to be voted or withheld from voting by him or her.
• 9 The 'Withheld' option on the Form of Proxy is provided to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. However, a vote withheld is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes 'For' and 'Against' a resolution.
• 10 Any alterations to this Form of Proxy should be initialled.
• 11 If you complete and return the Form of Proxy this will not prevent you from attending in person and voting at the meeting should you subsequently decide to do so.
• 12 A corporation must seal the Form of Proxy or have it signed by an officer or attorney in person, and voting at the meeting be carried out by an officer or attorney in person should you subsequently decide to do so.
• 13 In the case of joint holders, only one need sign this Form of Proxy, but the vote of the senior who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, will be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders. For this purpose seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the register of members in respect of the joint holding.
• 14 Alternatively you can scan, or take a photo of the signed and completed proxy and return it to proxyvotes@equiniti.com. If you return the form in a different envelope please use the following address: Equiniti, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, BN99 6DA.
